I love brushless, brushed has way to many variables, those with money can buy 50 motors to find those with the highest rpm, or have the skills they prefer not share and tune a motor to higher rpm.
I could see BL motors with timing adjust being way faster than Silver can motors but i think the locked end-bell BL motors are very close. When we first started the Mini class in our area some had the BL motor we spec'd and some had the silver can. There wasn't much of a difference in speed.
If TCS really wants to make racing closer in this class i think they should specify a single locked end-bell BL motor. We've done this and everyone is identical in speed it just comes down to setup and driving.
Question to those seasoned drivers. What kind of diff do you run?
We started running Spools in our M05 and 03's and it makes a huge difference. I'm curious as to how many Mini drivers have switched over from a gear or ball diff to a spool?
I could not find anything in the TCS rules that stated you could not run a spool, did I miss something, are they legal?
